That sounds Christ-like.

Watching UTA @ Arkansas, with UTA leading 4-0 heading to the 9th. The UTA starter (Dygert) has been studly; heā€™s still in to start the 9th.

23

Strikes out the first two in the bottom of the 9th, then walks a guy, then gives up an infield single, so runners on 1st and 2nd with two outs. UTA brings in their ā€œcloserā€, who gives up a long fly to RCF the RF almost catches but loses it when his glove hits the wall, scoring two and putting the hitter on 2nd. Next guy up doubles to deep LCF, making 4-3. Next guy up mercifully strikes out and UTA wins.

UT beat the hell out of #6 Coastal Carolina last night at MMPā€¦their SP, Ruger Riojas, went 5 with 1H 1BB and 11K

25

A young Baylor team beat a ranked Ole Miss team at Daikin this weekendā€¦ but the highlight of the tournament was probably this UT home run OFF THE TRAIN:

Announced as 466 feetā€¦ Granted, itā€™s metal bats, but has anyone hit one longer than that at Enron/Minute Maid/Daikin?

Holy cow

27

College or pro? Because Iā€™m pretty sure Sosaā€™s shot over the light tower is still traveling.

28

Fairly certain Pujolsā€™ home run in the 2005 NLCS is still circling the Earth.

29

The longest recorded home run at MMPUS/Daikin is 469 ft by Jake Marisnick. But I call complete BS on measurements. Yordanā€™s massive shot over the batterā€™s eye in the 2002 World Series is listed at only 450 ft. The base of the wall is like 410, and that thing easily cleared the wall which is 40 ft high.

Multiply distance by infinity for HRs than secure a WS victory.

Richie Sexson off the flagpole deserves a mention

32

The distance measurement may be disputed, the Richter scale measurement cannot.

I remember Jimmy Wynn hit one in the Dome that reached the upper deck. Had to have been 500 feet.

34

In the ā€œgold seatsā€ down the left field line. They painted a cannon on the seat. Doug Rader hit one nearby and they painted a rooster on that seat.

35

To my knowledge, only three Astros ever reached the upper deck at the Dome: Wynn, Rader, and Eric Anthony.

36

Not sure how accurate this is, but I saw on the 'net that Mike Simms ('96) and Carl Everett ('99) also did it.
